I have pondered the idea of allowing community service or tax. Originally, as I understood it growing up, land owners were required to serve in times of emergency.
Volunteer to clean up, blood drives, firefighters (small towns have some volunteers), public property repairs, public land clean up, election day volunteering, etc...
What are your thoughts on this idea? Either hire someone to do your required service, do the service yourself, or pay the tax. I figure it would fill the current needs or taking care of parks & other various tasks, or you can always hire someone down on their luck to do it. Around my area, many youth would jump in to help the retired population.
That is an incredible idea. Many retirees are poll workers & volunteer. This would really solidify commitment & help those seniors who could use the break. Of course, if everything collapses like 1929 and very few have money more of us could be in that predicament.
Bring it up to your state representative (for your precinct) or your state senator (at least we have two houses in Utah).
Ask them if there is an attorney in the capitol that reviews & can help you draft a bill. You put forth the legwork (ie write it up). That attorney looks it over to make sure it is technically correct (ie won't get bounced out for unknown process rules). Then take it to your state reps & let them know that it is ready to get votes because you already did their work for them.
This is the best way to get your reps to help you out, since they don't need to do the research or work writing the bill. They just need to promote it with you.
Also take it to various grass roots clubs & groups to show others that this bill is ready to be voted on to & get them behind the idea too. Rotary clubs, John Birch Society, Kiwanas Clubs, Eagle Forums, etc...
